Chapter 25

At Mercy Hospital, Antonio was rushed into the emergency

room.

Aileen had hurried over after hearing about the incident from Simon.

“Grace, my dear, are you okay?”

Aileen pulled Grace, who was covered in blood, close and looked her over.

“I’m fine. This is all Antonio’s blood.”

Grace subtly avoided Aileen’s soft, warm touch and frowned slightly. “What did you just call me?”

“Sorry.” Aileen realized her slip and blurted out the apology.

“It’s fine.” Grace sat down on a bench nearby, waving her hand generously.

She understood that Aileen was used to calling Kyla and Naomi that way.

It was just a habit.

“Grace.” Aileen walked up to Grace and slowly, but firmly, knelt down.

Grace, who was feeling anxious and craving a cigarette, was startled by Aileen’s sudden movement and quickly reached out to hold Aileen’s arms.
